Microsoft Application Verifier

September 29th, 2009 No comments

Application Verifier is designed specifically to detect and help debug memory corruptions and critical security vulnerabilities.

This is achieved by monitoring a native application’s interaction with the Windows operating system, profiling its use of objects, the registry, the file system, and Win32 APIs (including heaps, handles, locks, etc), and indicating issues when and where they are discovered.

Application Verifier also includes checks to predict how well an application may perform under various account privileges. These compatibility tests are used in Windows Logo program.

Print verification tests are also available to verify your usage of the print subsystem.

SVGMin

September 16th, 2009 No comments

SVGMin a small command-line utility to reduce SVG size by removing redundant information.

Many illustration programs can export the drawing to the SVG format. However, the SVG output is often sprinkled with a lot of extra stuff, mostly so that the file can be read back without a loss of information. This is however not good if the SVG output is the final file targeted for deployment, e.g. for a web site or as a scalable theme in a mobile platforms. The extra baggage in the contents which has no effect on the rendering should be removed to reduce both the download size and the (run-time) parsing time.

!exploitable Crash Analyzer

September 16th, 2009 No comments

!exploitable Crash Analyzer – MSEC Debugger Extensions –  !exploitable (pronounced “bang exploitable”) is a Windows debugging extension (Windbg) that provides automated crash analysis and security risk assessment. The tool first creates hashes to determine the uniqueness of a crash and then assigns an exploitability rating to the crash: Exploitable, Probably Exploitable, Probably Not Exploitable, or Unknown. There is more detailed information about the tool in the following .pptx file or at http://www.microsoft.com/security/msec. Additonally, see the blog post at http://blogs.technet.com/srd/archive/2009/04/08/the-history-of-the-exploitable-crash-analyzer.aspx, or watch the video at http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/PDCNews/Bang-Exploitable-Security-Analyzer/.
